Bella, what's the weather?

There is a very big storm outside. The snow is falling. The wind is blowing. It is a blizzard. A blizzard is a really bad snowstorm. I do not like to go outside when it is cold. I am happy to stay inside and go to sleep in front of the fireplace.

Bella says, "I love rainbows."

Can you name the colors of the rainbow?

Red 

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

Do you like rainbows? I love rainbows.


Bella, can you name the colors of the rainbow? Here's a clue. Start at the top.

                                          "What A Wonderful World"

I see trees of green,
red roses too.
I see them bloom,
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands.
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying,
"I love you".

I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more,
Than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

The first color is red. The second color is orange. Bella, do you like this rainbow?



The Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

My bed is like a tiny ship-I can feel it start to tip.

Good dreams make me happy. That is why I take several naps everyday.


My Bed is Like a Boat

My bed is like a little boat;
  Nurse helps me in when I embark;
She girds me in my sailor’s coat
  And starts me in the dark.
  
At night, I go on board and say         
  Good night to all my friends on shore;
I shut my eyes and sail away
  And see and hear no more.
  
And sometimes things to bed I take,
  As prudent sailors have to do
Perhaps a slice of wedding-cake,
  Perhaps a toy or two.
  
All night across the dark we steer;
  But when the day returns at last,
Safe in my room, beside the pier,
  I find my vessel fast.
                           -Robert Louis Stevenson
